ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY’S. LAST NIGHT OF “UNSEEN FORCES.” Students df the occult wil find much of interest in “Unseen Forces,” the' starring attraction concluding to-night at Everybody’s. In the leading role is the beautiful and talented young Australian actress, Sylvia Bremer, in the role of Miriam Holt, a girl possessed of remarkable occult powers. She is known, as “the girl who sees ar mi nd corners,” and 2t er remarkable ability plays an important part in her destiny and the destinies of many people around het. “Unseen Forces,” besides being an unusual feature in that its plot basis is out of the ordinary run, is one of the finest melodramas yet screened. The bill includes gazettes, comedy and “Lure of the Circus.” The matinee to-day commences at 2 p.m. THE PEOPLE’S. “COMMON SENSE.” Vola Vale and Ralph Lewis give interesting performances as the featured players in “Common Sense,” a Selzniek picture commencing at the People’s today at 2 p.m. Ralph Lewis appears as Dan Bowers, a man who has taken to the woods and lived the life of a hermit because he believed lie had been de-ceived-by. trbe one he lovej. The beautiful scenery shown in the picture leads one to believe that “hermiting” in such a spot wouldn’t be at all unpleasant for a few weeks, anyway, instead of the twenty years Dan Bowers spent at it. Vola Vale plays the role of Violet Manners, the girl who meets the hermit in the woods, and influences him to shed his soured philosophy and face the world with the “common sense” point of view. There’s a number of dramatic situations which bring the photoplay to an unusual climax. The bill includes gazettes, comedy, and “The Adventures of Tarzan.”

LITTLE 80-PEEP PANTOMIME. The Wanganui Herald of February 16, says of the 80-Peep Pantomime Co. to W produced at the Empire Theatre, New . Plymouth, on Wednesday and Thursday, March 8 and 9 (show nights) -:~*-“The panto is excellently mounted, and is superior in regard to continuity of plot to some which have been seen here, while there can be noquestion that the ability of the players is well above that seen in the average panto. The jokes- and witticisms are smart without being vulgar, and the local hits which were introduced tickled the audience immensely. Another matter that deserves mention, is the quality of the voices—the performers not merely look well, but sing well. The music is bright and catchy, changes of scene are frequent, and the stage management is exceptionally good.” The foregoing quotation speaks for itself ans should convince play goers that “Little 80-Peep” Panto is well worth seeing. Notwithstanding the neavy expenses incurred by travelling, this big Sydney company through New Zealand, the management has decided to adhere to prices that should suit the pockets of everyone, and rely* on the public to show their appreciation by attending in large numbers. As the company is due back in Sydney at an early date, these will be absolutely the last performances in New Plymouth. The box plan for “Little 80-Peep” opens at Collier’s Monday morning.
